Former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura couldn't enumerate just how a Navy SEAL sniper's book defamed him, but he said he'd had a hard time finding work since the book came out.
He also said his main complaint about it -- that the late Chris Kyle's tale that he decked Ventura for badmouthing SEALs was untrue -- left him worrying if people think he's a traitor.
"Every day of my life, I walk around looking over my shoulder now, wondering who believes that and who doesn't," Ventura said in response to a question from Kyle's lawyer, John Borger.

One more time, folks. James George Janos (aka “Jesse Ventura”) was NOT a Navy SEAL. He was in the Underwater Demolition Teams. At the time of his service, there were two separate missions for UDT and SEAL operators: (1) UDTs were responsible for operations up to the surf line; (2) SEALs were responsible from the surf line to inland. In 1983, the USN combined both jobs into SEAL teams.
Jesse Ventura never was in Vietnam. The closest he got was a Philippine cat house when his detachment was deployed there (Philippines, that is).

Ya', well that happens to all has-beens, Ventura. Job offers have dried up for poor Amanda Bynes too. I wonder who defamed her by not mentioning her by name in a book?

He doesn’t have to worry about whether people think he’s a traitor or not...most people don’t even know who he is.

He is scum. Thanks for your service, Jesse, but this definitely constitutes being “scum” of the highest order.

(Its like 1933, mixed with the Carter 70s, plus the books 1984 and Animal Farm, all at the same time.)

Taya Kyle is a class act and Jesse Ventura is a prick. Jesse needs to wake up and smell the coffee because after this gets done he’s not only going to be ridiculed, he is going to lose every little bit of self respect that he had left. Jesse will be lower than snake faeces.

He just hasn’t been thinking clearly since well before the SEAL decked his sorry ass.
Thanks TurboZamboni.

Seems crazy? I prefer to think of it as a alternate reality. It is a very similar one to mine, where I am a multi billionaire.
